"Darius has always been one of my favorite people to sing with and to call a friend in this industry and yet even knowing him well for as long as I have, there are so many incredible stories in&nbsp;Life's Too Short&nbsp;that I enjoyed learning for the first time."-Sheryl Crow*A NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller*A raw, heartfelt memoir from Darius Rucker, the Grammy Award- winning country music sensation and multiplatinum-selling lead singer of Hootie &amp; The Blowfish In 1986 Darius Rucker cofounded Hootie &amp; The Blowfish at the University of South Carolina. What began as a party band playing frat houses and dive bars quickly became a global pop rock phenomenon through their multiplatinum-selling debut album, cracked rear view, which featured era-defining hit songs like "Only Wanna Be with You," "Let Her Cry," and "Hold My Hand." Later, Darius would chart a pioneering path as a solo country music artist, with classic anthems like "Wagon Wheel" and "Alright."Nearly forty years after the band's formation, Darius tells his remarkable story through the lens of the songs that shaped him-from Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and KISS to Lou Reed, Billy Joel, Nanci Griffith, and so many more. Set against the soundtrack of his life, Darius recounts his childhood as the son of a single mother in Charleston, South Carolina. He traces the unlikely ascent of his band and shares wild tales of life on the road-but he also faces his missteps, defeats, and demons. As moving as it is entertaining, Life's Too Short is a timeless book about a man and his music.

A Memoir

Life's Too Short

A spectacular graphic novel about the life and times of the legendary Fela Kuti—the Pan-African frontman, multi-instrumentalist, sociopolitical powerhouse, and father of Afrobeat. In this bold and striking graphic novel, artist Jibola Fagbamiye and writer Conor McCreery team up to tell the remarkable origin story of one of Nigeria’s most famous sons, the King of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti, who rose to superstardom with his band Africa 70 in the 1970s, during a charged political period for his nation.A once-in-a-lifetime musical talent who innovated the musical genre Afrobeat, Fela was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian military regime. Fela focuses on a pivotal moment in his life, when he and his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, the renowned Nigerian suffrage activist, were ruthlessly attacked in their own home by soldiers who suffered no repercussions for their violence. It also explores Fela’s complex relationship with women, including his mother and Sandra Izsadore, the American singer and activist who revitalize and inspired him. Over the course of his life, Fela married 27 women, fathered numerous children, and founded the Kalakuta Republic commune, where he and his band lived, declaring themselves independent from military rule.As rich and original as its subject, Fela complements the historical with the surreal, featuring parallel dream world sequences, set between this realm and the next, in which Fela receives visions about his future and the dangerous path he will have to walk.Chronicling Fela’s perilous journey to capture his destiny—to become the King of Afrobeat, and to advocate for Pan-African unity in the face of European imperialism and white supremacy—this masterful biographical graphic novel celebrates this enduring legend and his legacy, offering inspiration for our own troubled time.

Joining the growing Black creative movement currently refashioning horses and cowboy imagery, a thoughtful, probing exploration of the shared history of Blackness and horses which reveals what its image can teach us about nationhood, race, and culture. Drawing on their personal history as a former urban equestrian, Black queer person, and child of Jamaican and Filipino immigrants, essayist and art critic Bitter Kalli contends the horse should be regarded as a critical source of power and identity in Black life.In a series of astute essays, Kalli explores the work of Black artists and influencers from Beyoncé to filmmakers Tiona Nekkia-McClodden and Jeymes Samuel and explores their own life-long relationship to equines. Alternatively playful and critical, meditative and biting, these essays navigate time and place—from the shadows of racetracks where jockey culture and the ubiquity of “equestrian chic” was born, to the reclamation—or, in Lil Nas X’s word, yeehawification—of the image of the cowboy, to the fraught connections of equestrian sport to slavery, US militarization, and European colonial domination. At heart, Kalli probes a central question: What does it mean for Black people to ride and tend horses in the context of a culture that has also used horses against them?Throughout these essays, Kalli reflects on the experience of being the only Black member of the equestrian team at Columbia University, and how the aesthetics, ethos, and practice of horse stewardship contributed to their understanding of gender, sexuality, and radical community building. Mounted moves beyond the reductive stereotypes that dominate our perceptions of “horse people”—the swaggering masculinity, snooty elitism, and assumed whiteness—to reveal how Black people relate to the image and physical presence of the horse in nature and culture, considering violence, sexualization, power, migration, and more through its image.

Intimate, hilarious, and inspiring essays by celebrated drag queens Lagoona Bloo, Julie J., Olivia Lux, Alexis Michelle, Kennedy Ann Scott, and Nina West.

Intimate, hilarious, and inspiring essays by celebrated drag queens Lagoona Bloo, Julie J., Olivia Lux, Alexis Michelle, Kennedy Ann Scott, and Nina West.Kennedy Ann Scott was awarded Teacher of the Year in Nashville, Tennessee. Olivia Lux starred in Rent and Kinky Boots. Julie J raised more than $100,000 for trans and LGBTQIA+ organizations. Lagoona Bloo is currently starring on the Off-Broadway hit Drag: the Musical, and Alex Michaels received a stellar review from the New York Times for their role in La Cage Aux Falles at Barrington Stage Company. Nina West received an honorary doctorate in May 2024 and is a well-known entertainer, having worked with everyone from Glenn Close to Kermit the Frog.When these gorgeous queens dress up in their stunning gown with picture perfect makeup, haters label them as inappropriate and unlawful. They are entertainers not predators. Drag is an art of self-expression that, at its core, affirms and uplifts LGBTQIA+ people.No Tea, No Shade is a collective anthem written by six drag queens who believe in equality, peace, and in a world that loves and respects all people. The defiant legacy of drag will endure fearmongering and hate because their hearts have endured the unthinkable, their courage has been relentlessly tested, and to be blunt, they have the balls to prevail.No Tea, No Shade features thirty essays written by six talented queens. They discuss:<ul><li>Social activism, Drag Story Hour, and education.</li><li>Coming out, gender, and equality.</li><li>Parenting, relationships, setting goals, and rejection.</li><li>Celebrating womanhood, family, and image.</li></ul>Despite the pervasive danger of being authentic and real, these drag artists have chosen to fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and not give up. They remind us and others who will listen that a person’s identity shouldn’t be marginalized to genitals. Identity categories are not as important as we have been led to believe. The shade casted on drag is just a scapegoat. It is a distraction political figures and trolls use to lure people away from caring about serious issues like gun violence, poverty, and racism.No Tea, No Shade shines a light on a community of people who are paving the way for a better world and holding the light for others to step up.

As a teenager, she joined the wildly popular Mexican girl group Timbiriche and later as a solo artist and actress reached the pinnacle of her the music industry, and she is often referred to as the Latin Madonna, For their part, many journalists and critics have assured that Rubio's great success has also been influenced by the events of her personal life.

Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes (Paulina Rubio) es una cantante, compositora, actriz, modelo y mujer de negocios mexicana. Conocida como la “Reina del pop latino” y la “Madonna Latina”, Rubio ha vendido más de 15 millones de récords, lo que la convierte en uno de los artistas de música latina más vendidos de todos lo tiempos. Tiene más de 1.5 millones de seguidores en Instagram, 5.4 millones en Facebook y más de 11 millones en Twitter (que la colocan como la tercera mexicana más popular en Twitter). Sus giras por Norteamérica agotan sus entradas en cuestión de horas en ciudades como Miami, Los Ángeles, Chicago y Nueva York. Ésta es la autobiografía oficial de la adorada cantante mexicoestadounidense, la historia detrás de una de las más prominentes cantantes/artistas/actrices/ mujeres de negocios de Latinoamérica. Un recuento sin límites desde las alturas (giras mundiales con entradas agotadas) hasta las desgarradoras caídas (dos divorcios, ambos debidos a la infidelidad de los esposos). Por primera vez, Paulina abre su corazón y su alma en estas páginas para sus millones de seguidores y cuenta los momentos cruciales de su pasado, revela sus experiencias con los problemas sobre su apariencia física, cómo se abrió paso en una industria dominada por hombres, la crianza de sus hijos como madre soltera y cómo aprendió que sólo puede depender de ella misma. Porque creció como hija de la realeza mexicana de los medios de comunicación (la madre de Paulina es una actriz muy conocida y su padre, un abogado nacido en España), Paulina supo desde temprana edad que estaba destinada a la grandeza. Como adolescente, se unió al popular grupo mexicano de chicas, Timbiriche, y más tarde, como artista individual y actriz, alcanzó la cima de la industrial musical, y con frecuencia recibe el nombre de la Madonna Latina. Por su parte, muchos periodistas y críticos han asegurado que el gran éxito de Paulina también se ha visto influido por acontecimientos de su vida personal. Desde que comenzó su carrera, el publico tuvo mucho interés en explorar su vida personal. Elena Reina, periodista de El País, asegura que su éxito se ha debido a la “brillante estrategia de mercado basada en su vida privada”. También se sabe que los conciertos de Rubio son caros. Su presentación en la gala de Santa Cruz de Tenerife en España en febrero de 2020 se convirtió en la presentación más cara jamás pagada a un artista en ese evento. El propietario del carnaval reveló que “la cantante mexicana recibió una oferta de 103.000 euros por una actuación de ocho minutos”.&nbsp; Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes (Paulina Rubio) is a Mexican singer, songwriter, actress, model and businesswoman.&nbsp;Referred to as the "Queen of Latin Pop"&nbsp;and "The Latina Madonna", Rubio has sold over 15 million records&nbsp;making her one of the&nbsp;best-selling Latin music artists of all-time.&nbsp;She has over 1.5 million Instagram followers, 5.4 million Facebook followers and over 11 million Twitter followers, making her the third most popular Mexican on Twitter.

A Little More of Me \ Un poco más de mí (Spanish edition)

"In the vein of works by Gary Janetti and Danny Pellegrino, an honest, funny, and heartfelt memoir-in-essays about chasing your dreams, making big messes, and finding yourself along the way"--

In the vein of works by Gary Janetti and Danny Pellegrino, an honest, funny, and heartfelt memoir-in-essays about chasing your dreams, making big messes, and finding yourself along the way.In in his debut book for adults, Jeffery Self invites readers into his world, taking them through the usual foibles of gay adolescence, amplified in the vast wasteland of the American South and the odd characters who peopled it, from shoddy community theater productions to underage drinking with Broadway stars, from downtown comedy rooms to adventure-filled bedrooms. Along the way, he shares his experiences of acting in TV and film, touring live comedy around the world, getting booed off gay cruise ships, a tenure in the “oldest profession,” meeting his heroes, falling in love, getting his heart broken, breaking other people’s hearts, being hated, hating himself, and on the best of days, finding stuff to like about himself, too.Self-Sabotage&nbsp;is a deeply personal and intimate exploration of Self’s life, filled with humor, heartache, and a hearty dose of bipolar disorder. It asks the profound question of how you become the person you want to be when so much of yourself is a secret—and how you learn to accept yourself when it’s not. It is also, of course, side-splittingly funny.

And Other Ways I've Spent My Time

Self-Sabotage

Heart Life Music&nbsp;shares the stories of a kid from small town East Tennessee with a dream fueled by the sports and music around him.

"A primary care physician's moving memoir of navigating a complicated path to motherhood, interwoven with the stories of twenty-one of her patients, friends, and medical colleagues-and sharing the intimate truths of their diverse perspectives on being part of all kinds of families, born and built and chosen"--

"Rebecca Thompson’s moving book proves that there are as many different ways of becoming a family as there are mothers—a personal, compelling reminder of why women’s reproductive health care matters, and why one size does not fit all”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author"Immersive, compassionate, and vulnerable, Held Together invites us to walk with Dr. Thompson as she navigates her own journey to parenthood and the beautiful, messy, uplifting stories of the families she cares for along the way."—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to SomeoneA primary care physician's moving memoir of navigating a complicated path to motherhood, interwoven with the stories of twenty-one of her patients, friends, and medical colleagues—and sharing the intimate truths of their diverse perspectives on being part of all kinds of families, born and built and chosen.Seventeen years ago, when Rebecca Thompson endured a string of life-threatening pregnancy losses and rare medical conditions, her training as a physician didn’t protect her from feeling isolated and overwhelmed. What she longed for was a community of women—or even one encouraging story—to reassure her that she wasn’t alone.Deciding to create the community she couldn’t find in her own time of need, Dr. Thompson reached out to friends, patients, and medical colleagues and asked them to share the stories of their personal journeys to parenthood, as well as stories of how their families grew and changed and thrived as they faced challenges beyond those early years.&nbsp;Held Together&nbsp;explores the intersections of these brave, resilient women’s lives with Dr. Thompson’s own as they encounter a vast range of unexpected turns and obstacles, including fertility issues, adoption, fostering, surrogacy, multiples, abortion, stepparenthood, chronic disease, mental illness, the death of a child, the death of a spouse, and so many moments where grief may threaten to consume us—until joy sometimes surprises us.The extraordinary stories of ordinary women reveal that, while our individual circumstances may be unique, our experiences are universal in so many ways: we are creating life, raising children, and sustaining families, even as we search for reassurance that we are not alone in our struggles. Held Together&nbsp;offers a place of healing that welcomes every kind of family, a refuge where we make meaning out of our stories and embrace the belief that life can be beautiful in spite of—and often because of—all its complexities and imperfections. Our foundations may not always be strong, but together, we are.
